### 5.3. Master file example

The following is an example file which might be used to define the ISI.EDU zone and is loaded with an origin of ISI.EDU:

    @   IN  SOA     VENERA      Action\.domains (
                                     20     ; SERIAL
                                     7200   ; REFRESH
                                     600    ; RETRY
                                     3600000; EXPIRE
                                     60)    ; MINIMUM

            NS      A.ISI.EDU.
            NS      VENERA
            NS      VAXA
            MX      10      VENERA
            MX      20      VAXA

    A       A       26.3.0.103

    VENERA  A       10.1.0.52
            A       128.9.0.32

            A       128.9.0.33

    $INCLUDE <SUBSYS>ISI-MAILBOXES.TXT

                MG      LARRY
                MG      CURLEY
